My First Speech: A One-Time Class for Ages 5–8

No experience is needed. This class is designed for complete beginners. Your child only needs to be able to talk about something they enjoy, and the teacher guides every step, from choosing a topic to saying the final line of the speech.

Yes. Reading is not required. Learners draw a simple picture prompt card with three small pictures, one for each part of their speech, and use it to remember what to say. Early readers may add a few words if they like.

By the end, your child will have planned and delivered a one-minute speech about a favourite topic. They will practise a friendly greeting, share three ideas, and finish with a clear closing line while using a loud voice and tall posture.

That is completely fine. The teacher offers gentle options, such as speaking while holding up the picture card, sharing just one idea, or saying the speech together with the teacher first. Every attempt is celebrated, and no child is pushed beyond what feels comfortable.

It is a single 30-minute live class with no follow-up sessions. The teacher models a short speech, the group plans and rehearses together, and the class ends with each child presenting while classmates cheer them on.

Ages 5 to 8 are a guide, not a strict rule. A learner just outside the range may fit well if they can talk about a familiar topic for about a minute and follow simple spoken instructions. A grown-up nearby to help at the start is welcome for younger learners.

You can cancel from the class in the parent dashboard. A class that has not yet started is refunded, while a class that has already started counts as used. Refunds go to store credit or the original payment method. If your child misses the class because of illness or an emergency, contact support, who review each case.

There is no homework, since everything happens during the live class, and no certificate is given. Many families enjoy asking their child to give the speech again at home, but this is optional and just for fun.
